French authorities have charged and jailed an adult and three teens aged 16 to 17 over a foiled bombing attempt near the Bank of America Corp. office in Paris that was seen as possible retaliation for the war with Iran.

The four individuals are being held in pre-trial detention, a Justice Ministry official said late Wednesday. All of the suspects have denied any terrorist intent, according to France’s anti-terrorism prosecutors, the PNAT.
